Interesting. An example of how the word “anti-feminist” is making ever greater inroads into the mainstream. An extract, in which there is a very useful graphic on the website article:
Views on feminism and gender equality
The majority of Americans (55%) say they do not identify as either a feminist or anti-feminist. One in four (24%) say they are either a feminist or strong feminist, and 9% say they are either an anti-feminist or strong anti-feminist.
About one-third (31%) of women identify as a feminist, while 8% say they are anti-feminist. Feminist identification is especially common among women who support Harris (60%) or have college degrees (43%). Women who support Trump are more likely to identify as anti-feminists (12%) than as feminists (7%).
Men are somewhat more likely to call themselves feminists (17%) than anti-feminists (10%). Men under 45 are more likely than older men to adopt both labels: 23% say they’re feminists and 15% say they’re anti-feminists. 40% of men who support Harris see themselves as feminists, compared to only 5% of Trump-supporting men. While college-educated men are slightly more likely to identify as feminists than men without a college degree, the education divide among men is far less stark than it is among women.
Perceptions of the term “feminist” are split. 30% see “feminist” as either mostly or completely positive, 35% as mostly or completely negative, and 27% as neutral. [J4MB emphasis]

I was amused by the tables about a future female President. There is an obvious problem in terms of a survey, of course Democrats score more highly because they hope “their” candidate will win! They have no choice about the democratic candidate and if they want a Democrat President it will have to be a woman. In general the “take away” from this is that in the US feminism is still not a majority opinion and committed feminists remain very much a minority, and one that conforms to the stereotype of University educated. Interesting that males seem to resist being feminists even if they go to Uni.
